🚨 IMPORTANT ANIMAL INTAKE NOTICE 🚨

Coos County Animal Shelter is currently not accepting animals, and unfortunately, we are also unable to accept animals at this time. We do not have the resources or ability to properly care for animals.

Please do not bring stray, found, or surrendered animals to us. We want to help, but accepting animals without the proper resources would put them at risk.

We understand that finding an animal in need can be stressful, and we appreciate your concern for their safety. Please contact local animal control or other appropriate animal welfare resources for assistance.

Thank you for understanding. 🐾
